    How To End SELF-SABOTAGING HABITS So You Can Get Fit & Healthy

    Do you look like you're doing "fine" on the outside, but feel exhausted, frustrated, or stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage on the inside? In today's episode of Conquer the Day, Brian and Lindsey sit down with client Jessica Lynch to unpack what it really takes to get off the self-sabotage rollercoaster and find steady, sustainable peace with your health and life. Jessica shares her raw journey of moving from extremes and perfectionism to calm, consistency, and self-trust, without giving up her identity or drive. You'll hear how... ✅ Learning to sit with discomfort ✅ Changing her internal dialogue ✅ Letting go of the "something is wrong with me" narrative ...Completely transformed her relationship with fitness, food, and herself.  This conversation is especially for the high-functioning woman who keeps asking, "Why can't I just do this?" Tune in for a powerful reminder that you don't need to fix yourself, you need to trust yourself, and everything changes from there. Highlights Why self-sabotage often isn't a discipline problem... but a lack of self-trust and safety with yourself. How living in extremes (all-in or all-out) creates the emotional and physical rollercoaster so many high performers feel stuck on. Learning to sit with discomfort without numbing, escaping, or swinging back to perfectionism. The mindset shifts that turned fitness from punishment into a stabilizing, life-giving habit. Why calm, consistency, and the "middle ground" are not boring... but the foundation for lasting confidence, peace, and results.
